Can Marine Systems named authorised reseller of Amazon Leo

Singapore-based Can Marine Systems has signed an agreement to become an authorised reseller of Amazon Leo, expanding the satellite connectivity options available through its managed maritime technology services.

Under the agreement, Can Marine will provide Amazon Leo connectivity through its Canopus™ Platform, which integrates satellite and cellular networks with onboard network policies, crew access controls and remote management.

The company will offer the service as part of its managed maritime connectivity and onboard IT portfolio, supporting commercial shipping and offshore energy customers operating in Asia-Pacific and their global fleets.

Can Marine said it will continue to act as the customer’s service partner, covering network design, installation and ongoing support. Its approach is intended to integrate additional satellite capacity into existing vessel operations without requiring fleet operators to manage each connectivity service independently.

“Fleets should be able to adopt better connectivity without taking on more complexity onboard,” said Lim Ding Liang, director of Can Marine Systems. He added that Amazon Leo would broaden the connectivity services available through the Canopus Platform, with Can Marine remaining accountable for service delivery.

Canopus platform integrates multiple connectivity networks

Can Marine’s Canopus Platform is designed to manage different connectivity options through a common onboard system. It combines satellite and cellular services with network policies, crew access controls and remote management capabilities.

The platform forms part of the company’s wider maritime systems integration business, which combines satellite communications, marine systems engineering and onboard IT services.

For vessel operators, managed connectivity can help coordinate network access across shipboard operations and crew services. The addition of Amazon Leo will give Can Marine another satellite network to incorporate into this service model.

The company did not disclose the commercial terms of the reseller agreement, expected customer rollout dates or the number of vessels that may use the service.

Amazon Leo targets connectivity beyond traditional networks

Amazon Leo is Amazon’s low Earth orbit satellite constellation, developed to provide internet connectivity in locations beyond the reach of traditional networks.

According to the announcement, the planned constellation comprises more than 3,000 satellites connected to a global network of ground gateway antennas and dedicated fibre infrastructure.

Amazon Leo also includes compact, high-performance antenna products, including Leo Pro and Leo Ultra. These terminals form part of the network’s customer-facing equipment offering.

The agreement with Can Marine adds a maritime technology integrator to Amazon Leo’s reseller channel. Can Marine’s existing presence in satellite communications and marine systems integration gives it a route to offer the service to shipping and offshore operators in the Asia-Pacific region.

Maritime connectivity remains a technology priority

Reliable connectivity supports a range of requirements across commercial shipping and offshore operations, including communications, onboard IT systems and crew access to digital services.

The use of LEO satellite networks is expanding the range of connectivity solutions available to vessel operators. However, the value of a new satellite service also depends on how effectively it can be integrated with existing onboard infrastructure and managed across a fleet.

Can Marine’s agreement positions Amazon Leo within a broader managed-service offering rather than as a standalone connectivity product. The commercial impact will depend on service availability, deployment requirements, pricing and adoption by shipping and offshore customers.

The announcement does not specify when Amazon Leo services will become available to Can Marine customers or provide details of initial vessel deployments.
